The initiative of the Immigration Corner is part of the efforts taken by the Surakarta Class 1 Immigration Office to continuously provide excellent service to the community in order to support the development of an integrity zone towards a Clean and Serving Bureaucratic Area (WBBM). “We also wish the prayers and supports for us to achieve WBBM in 2021.

This effort aims to facilitate passport issuance and renewal service,” said Prof. Sajidan.
Secondly, this partnership agreement between UPT KLI UNS and the Surakarta Class 1 Immigration Office also opens up opportunities for the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Program, especially for students from the Faculty of Law (FH) and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP). Hence, the students in FH and FISIP can carry out internships or professional practices at the Surakarta Class 1 Immigration Office, where various real immigration cases can be studied properly to provide the most suitable solutions. This opportunity certainly will be a precious experience,” he concluded. Humas UNS
